Protective tool for a bending tool

Abstract

A protective tool ( 5 ) for the protection of a workpiece, which is to be bent in a bending tool ( 1 ), is formed by at least one profile having two faces ( 6, 7 ), where the one face ( 6 ) includes magnets ( 8 ) for securing the protective tool to a lateral face on the bending tool ( 1 ), while the other face ( 7 ), which is perpendicular to the one face, engages a surface ( 4 ) on the bending tool ( 1 ) and extends inwards over a groove ( 2 ) of the bending tool.

1 . A protective tool ( 5 ) for use in connection with a bending tool ( 1 ) having a groove ( 2 ), said protective tool being disposed at the top on the bending tool so that the workpiece, which is to be bent, is pressed down against the protective tool and the groove of the bending tool, and wherein the protective tool ( 5 ) is made in two parts, each of which engages a lateral face ( 3 ) and an upper side ( 4 ) of the bending tool ( 1 ). 
   
   
       2 . The protective tool according to  claim 1 , wherein each part ( 5 ) is shaped as a right-angled profile member comprising an upper member ( 7 ), which covers the groove ( 2 ) completely or partly, as well as a lateral member ( 6 ). 
   
   
       3 . The protective tool according to  claim 2 , wherein the lateral member ( 6 ) includes magnets ( 8 ) for adhesion to the lateral face ( 3 ) of the bending tool ( 1 ). 
   
   
       4 . The protective tool according to  claim 1 , wherein the parts ( 5 ) include tape which holds them together on the bending tool ( 1 ). 
   
   
       5 . The protective tool according to  claim 1 , wherein the face ( 6 ) of the protective tool, when said face assumes a position which is clear of the lateral face ( 3 ) of the ending tool, engages a V-shaped support rail ( 11 ). 
   
   
       6 . The protective tool according to  claim 5 , including magnets for securing a lateral face ( 13 ) of the support rail ( 11 ) to the lateral face ( 3 ) of the bending tool. 
   
   
       7 . The protective tool according to  claim 5 , including magnets for securing a surface ( 12 ) of the support rail ( 11 ) to the lower side of the one face ( 6 ) of the protective tool ( 5 ). 
   
   
       8 . The protective tool according to  claim 1 , configured as a right angle.
